Plans for an artificial archipelago have been submitted for Scarborough’s South Bay.

The man-made island has been inspired by the Palm Jumeirah islands in Dubai and would be home to holiday accommodation, a water sports centre with an enclosed lagoon, restaurants and an entertainment venue.

The plans have been proposed by French development company Flora Lopi who have a track record of creating unique holiday resorts.

The companies CEO, Pierre Fausses-Nouvelles hopes the development will have year round use.

“We plan to use the resort to extend the season – with families holidaying in the five star resort during the summer and extreme surfers using the resort during the winter months, we will also bring touring shows to the islands theatre offering year round entertainment for the local population”

Nick Taylor, Scarborough’s Investment Manager said:

“If such a resort could be built in the south bay it would certainly put Scarborough on the map, quite literally in fact, the Palm in Dubai is visible very clearly on google earth, if we could have a similar development on the Yorkshire Coast the publicity will be immense.”

"Flora Lopi say they are involved in several similar projects around the coast of Europe and intend to create the artificial islands to reflect the local culture and landmarks.

Pierre Fausses-Nouvelles says..

“In the same way that the palm tree is associated with Dubai we want to reflect the heritage of the Yorkshire seaside in our Scarborough development, this is why we have submitted plans to build the island in the shape of a Donkey”

"... Until the new sources of energy supply can beat the current low prices coal will remain the leading source of heat and power and will meet something like a third of the world’s energy needs. The proportion burnt in high efficiency, low emission plants will rise but that will remain a fraction of the total for the foreseeable future, not least because coal users cannot afford the upgrades necessary. Coal is the energy source of choice, through necessity, of the poorer half of the world.

Times may be tough for the industry, and the continued use of coal in sub-critical technology may be bad for the environment, but like it or not coal is not in free fall."

"You have to admire the grit of Chris Fraser, ex-bouncer, banker, and now chief executive of Sirius Minerals, who last week announced the miner was moving from Aim to the main market to find new backers.

"The Australian has faced down many obstacles to his plan to extract 20m tonnes a year of white polyhalite pellets of fertiliser from under the Yorkshire moors.

"First Mr Fraser had to gain support from the moors’ guardians; second he has had to win financial backing for a technically-challenging project that involves building a 23-mile underground conveyor belt to take polyhalite to the sea and is costing $3bn in capital.

"So far Sirius has raised $1.2bn to sink shafts and start taking polyhalite out of the ground in 2021. Sirius must borrow another $1.7bn to construct the conveyor belt. If all goes to plan (which is rare in mining) the group will be spewing out 10m tonnes of polyhalite by 2024. But the miner still must persuade farmers in Asia and the Americas that Sirius’ crop food is as good if not better than potash rivals found close by.

"There is a potash glut at the moment. Mr Fraser insists polyhalite is a premium product, particularly compared with the bulk of potassium fertilisers that contain chloride. It also contains other minerals and does more to boost crop yields than bog-standard potash, he says. He reckons polyhalite could trade at a premium: that is, $200 a tonne.

Perhaps, even in time, it might trade at nearer to the price, on a relative basis, of more concentrate potash sulphate. In his dreams.

Until the market in polyhalite has been established, it will sell at a discount to cheaper potash at about $145 a tonne — the price at which customers have agreed to take 8.1m tonnes a year. True, at $145 a tonne, Sirius’ revenues will be a good whack above production costs of $30 a tonne. But would-be backers will have to take Mr Fraser’s word for it that the conveyor belt will keep going, costs will not rise and prices will not fall."

"Like Frankenstein's monster the SP received a jolt from the electrodes last week and re-animated moved up and off the slab...at last, after the precipitous collapse last November and the torpor since we have seen movement, maybe that movement is a bit clunky and unsteady but movement in the right direction nevertheless.
Relief expressed in many quarters but some irrational exuberance expressed from others over what are, at the moment very small SP steps forward.

Of course the slightly earlier than expected move to the main market was the catalyst for last week's movement and there ought to be great benefits in terms of stability following the likely initial 'feel good' boost in the SP at the end of April.

But the main factor leading to a sustained assault on much, much higher ground will be getting stage two funding in the bag without CF churning out the share certificates again! Until such time as that funding is clear the market will have reservations about this share with reassurances about stage two being senior debt only becoming more accepted when more TorP deals emerge, the absence of any further such deals in the update meant that I didn't forsee last week's kick upwards.

Highly amusing though to see the BoD having to put an assurance in last week's RNS over not issuing anymore shares associated with the move to the main market - I should think not! Touchy subject perhaps? I for one won't sit back and relax with this share until such time as I see the 2018 RNS coming out with the terms of stage two funding being all debt only! as promised!

So entry onto the main market and then two months to the AGM, awkward questions over last year soothed out of existence by a rising SP? New TorP deals propelling the SP northwards? Announcement of favourable geological conditions from the test bore?

Who knows? But market expectation will quickly grow around the three monthly updates even more so than unexpected RNS updates, on last week's performance the updates could become major SP events, hopefully to the upside!

"... The UK has now started the formal process of leaving the EU, but scientists say they have evidence of a much earlier "Brexit".

They have worked out how a thin strip of land that once connected ancient Britain to Europe was destroyed.

The researchers believe a large lake overflowed 450,000 years ago, damaging the land link, then a later flood fully opened the Dover Strait...

"More than half a million years ago, in the midst of an Ice Age, a land bridge connected Dover in the South of England to Calais in northern France.

Immediately to the north of it, was a huge glacial lake, which had formed at the edge of an ice sheet that covered much of Europe.

The researchers believe that this lake started to overflow, sending vast amounts of water crashing over the land bridge.

"Prof Gupta said: "These holes are now in-filled with sediment, but what's interesting is that they are not linear features like canyons or valleys - they are isolated depressions.

"And they occur in a line - a whole series of them stretching between Dover and Calais. And they are huge, 100m-deep carved into the bedrock and hundreds of metres to several kilometres in diameter.

"So we interpret these as giant plunge pools. We think there was basically lake water plunging over this rock ridge in the Dover Strait through a whole series of waterfalls, which then eroded and carved out these depressions.

"It's difficult to explain them by any other mechanism."

"...The researchers would now like to work out more precise timings of the "geological Brexit".

This would mean drilling into the bottom of the Dover Strait and analysing the age of the sediment.

"But that would be a huge undertaking," admitted Prof Gupta.

"The English Channel is the world's busiest shipping lane and it has huge tidal currents. It will be hugely challenging."

"...Bewilderingly, the ‘road’ is not actually a road but rather a sea route linking China’s southern coast to east Africa and the Mediterranean. The ‘belt’ is a series of overland corridors connecting China with Europe, via Central Asia and the Middle East.

“It is a very confusing name,” admits Peter Cai, the author of a recent report about Belt and Road, who blames China’s propaganda-focused state media for failing to properly explain the concept to the world. “There is still a lot of confusion about what the Belt and Road initiative is and what it actually entails.”

The initiative’s Chinese name - yi dai yi lu or “one belt, one road” - rolls off the tongue far more easily."

"Chatham House has been at the forefront of thinking on Britain’s role in the world. So with the General Election less than a month away, it’s a great place to set out my approach: on how a Labour Government I lead will keep Britain safe, reshape relationships with partners around the world, work to strengthen the United Nations and respond to the global challenges we face in the 21st century.

And I should say a warm welcome to the UN Special Representative in Somalia, Michael Keating, who is here today. On Monday, we commemorated VE Day, the anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in Europe...

"Alert citizens or political leaders who advocate other routes to security are dismissed or treated as unreliable. My own political views were shaped by the horrors of war and the threat of a nuclear holocaust. My parents met while organising solidarity with the elected government of Spain against Franco’s fascists during the Spanish civil war.

My generation grew up under the shadow of the cold war. On television, through the 1960s and into the seventies, the news was dominated by Vietnam. I was haunted by images of civilians fleeing chemical weapons used by the United States.

I didn’t imagine then that nearly fifty years later we would see chemical weapons still being used against innocent civilians. What an abject failure. How is it that history keeps repeating itself? At the end of the cold war, when the Berlin Wall came down we were told it was the end of history. Global leaders promised a more peaceful, stable world. It didn’t work out like that....

"Today the world is more unstable than even at the height of the cold war. The approach to international security we have been using since the 1990s has simply not worked. Regime change wars in Afghanistan Iraq, Libya, and Syria – and Western interventions in Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen – have failed in their own terms, and made the world a more dangerous place.

This is the fourth General Election in a row to be held while Britain is at war and our armed forces are in action in the Middle East and beyond. The fact is that the ‘war on terror’ which has driven these interventions has failed.

They have not increased our security at home – just the opposite. And they have caused destabilisation and devastation abroad...

"We need to step back and have some fresh thinking. The world faces huge problems. As well as the legacy of regime change wars, there is a dangerous cocktail of ethnic conflicts, of food insecurity, water scarcity, the emerging effects of climate change. Add to that mix a grotesque and growing level of inequality in which just eight billionaires own the same wealth as the 3.6 billion poorest people.

And you end up with a refugee crisis of epic proportions affecting every continent in the world. With more displaced people in the world than since the Second World War. These problems are getting worse and fuelling threats and instability. The global situation is becoming more dangerous...

"They have balanced the books on the backs of servicemen and women. Deep cuts have seen the Army reduced to its smallest size since the Napoleonic wars. From stagnant pay and worsening conditions, to poor housing. The morale of our service personnel and veterans is at rock bottom.

And as the security threats and challenges we face are not bound by geographic borders it is vital that as Britain leaves the EU, we maintain a close relationship with our European partners alongside our commitment to NATO and spending at least 2 per cent on defence.

That means working with our allies to ensure peace and security in Europe. We will work to halt the drift to confrontation with Russia and the escalation of military deployments across the continent...."

"Because security is not only about direct military defence, it’s about conflict resolution and prevention, underpinned by strong diplomacy.So the next Labour Government will invest in the UK’s diplomatic networks and consular services. "

"Labour says it would raise billions of pounds for public services with a new tax on financial transactions - known as a "Robin Hood" tax.

The party said extending the way shares were taxed and closing a loophole would bring in up to £26bn in the next Parliament, if it won the election.

It is also wants a tax avoidance crackdown and would require £1m+ earners to publish their tax records....

"Labour said it would extend the existing 0.5% stamp duty paid on shares to other financial assets, including investments known as derivatives.

It would also end an exemption, known as intermediaries relief, that applies to some banks and hedge funds, saying that together the measures would bring in between £4.7bn and £5.6bn a year.

"If Labour's plans came to fruition, critics say these transactions would simply move elsewhere or the costs would be passed on to the likes of pensions funds, ultimately hitting consumers.

That's on top of worries over the potential loss of business and jobs in the City because of Brexit....

"...attacked by the Institute of Economic Affairs, which described them as "another example of the fallacy that corporations can be tapped for cash with no wider costs"."In reality, it's always ordinary people who ultimately pay, including consumers and workers," said the free market think tank's chief economist...

"So although the concrete issues that shaped this election were primarily regional - such as schools, transport and security - this state also matters nationally. It is seen as a bellwether for national elections.

There was a boost in his poll ratings and a surge of excitement when Mr Schulz announced earlier this year that he would challenge Mrs Merkel - it became known as the "Schulz effect".

His plan was to win over voters with a down-to-earth approach. But policy proposals have remained vague, and critics say the folksy charm has started to wear thin."

"Holding a 12ft (3.7m) long steel-tipped wooden lance in front of him, he rides a stallion full pelt towards another would-be knight coming at him in a similarly determined attempt to knock him off his horse.

"You are both moving at about 20mph (32km/h), so [if the other person's lance hits you] it is like hitting a brick wall at 40mph.

"I have never fallen off, but I have taken three people out of the saddle. Historically people have died, and it is always the lance tip going through the eye slot [of the helmet]."

""What the code comes down to is try to be a decent person... and there are three parts - bravery, honesty and kindness.

"...His plea to politicians to listen to the wishes and concerns of the upland farming fraternity comes in the run-up to both next month’s General Election and, on the day before voters go to the polls, the staging of the North’s biannual industry summit - NSA North Sheep - on June 7."

"It is easy to think that the Radio 270 was put together on the cheap yet in truth this was a £40,000 venture. It involved local businessmen ... an entertainments promoter. Leonard Dale was the head of Dale electrics at Gristhorpe... a Scarborough fisherman was involved with the company as Maritime Director. He picked out a vessel - a lugger from the Netherlands for £2500. It was 137 feet long and had a 240 horse power engine - it was built in 1939. The vessel came into Scarborough towed by a local trawler 'Courage' and was fitted out. The fish hold was converted into a communications room and living space for three DJ's and three tecnnicians. There was a distillation unit which could produce 200 gallons of fresh water daily from sea water. Twenty tons of ballast was added to help make the boat ride better at sea. The vessel was renamed Ocean 7 - an anglicized version of Oceaan VII.

In June 1966 the first record was played. It was the current number one - 'Strangers in the night' by Frank Sinatra. It followed the example of other pirate radio stations dishing up rock and roll records. It was presented in a hip and stylish way with slogans such as "Your swinging boat on the north east coast". It was tremendously successful reaching a potential 15 million listeners..."

"IT WOULD have been the biggest radio party for a generation - the golden anniversary of the sinking of the station they loved. But then they discovered that hardly anyone remembered it.

Radio 270 was Yorkshire’s Radio Caroline - a pirate station that broadcast pop music to the culture-starved teenagers of the region. It fell silent, along with the other pirate ships, exactly half a century ago, when Tony Benn’s Marine Offences Act made it a crime for UK citizens to broadcast from offshore.."

“But it was the only one that operated with a proper captain and could actually get under way.

“It used to steam in and out of Bridlington and Scarborough at midnight to pick up supplies. Sometimes it was still there at six in the morning when transmissions started. On one occasion two local bobbies sat on the ship when it went on air.”

The Labour government was determined to shut down the pirates, claiming they were a danger to shipping and that their signals could interfere with the emergency services. To placate listeners, it persuaded a reluctant BBC to create a pop station of its own, and Radio 1 went on air a month later."

"The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is the host laboratory for the LBNF/DUNE project, which will use Fermilab’s world-leading accelerator complex to send a beam of ghostly particles called neutrinos 800 miles through Earth to a massive detector that will be built a mile below the surface at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota.

More than a thousand scientists from institutions in more than 30 countries around the world contribute to the LBNF/DUNE project. The UK has been an essential partner in the experiment since its inception, and the collaboration includes scientists from 16 UK institutions. The U.S. contribution to LBNF/DUNE is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.

“The United Kingdom has long been a leader in this area of science, starting with Ernest Rutherford in the early 20th century,” said Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer. “This agreement ensures that LBNF/DUNE will have great scientific and technical strength on the team as we chart the bright future for neutrino research.”

"Seismic survey - road closures

"Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.

Hughes promised the flat-Earth community that he would expose the conspiracy with his steam-powered rocket, which will launch from a heavily modified mobile home — though he acknowledged that he still had much to learn about rocket science.

“This whole tech thing,” he said in the June interview. “I’m really behind the eight ball.”

"But he won’t be able to test the rocket before he climbs inside and attempts to steam himself at 500 mph across a mile of desert air. And even if it’s a success, he's promised his backers an even riskier launch within the next year, into the space above the disc. He told Ars Technica last year that the second phase of his mission might involve floating in a balloon up to 20,000 feet above the ground, then rocket-packing himself into outer space.

“It’s scary as hell,” Hughes told the AP. “But none of us are getting out of this world alive.”

"The only thing that César Chávez knows with respect to energy is that it does not reach his house and that converting the Marañón into a bathtub will not generate light for Tupén Grande.

Currently, Peru consumes 6,500 megawatts (MW) at peak demand each year. It has a generation capacity of more than 10,000 MW. More simply, the country has almost 50 percent of the energy it produces left over. Peru generates so much energy, that by 2018, this reserve will reach 70 percent, following MINEM projections. That is to say, production vastly exceeds demand. Yet the State has still not achieved bringing light to every corner of Peru."

Mr McDonald's train was due to pull in at 11:50am, so he could join some of the 40 groups outside stations across the country protesting fare hikes.

But instead a power outage brought it to a sudden halt - leaving passengers on board stuck for almost two hours.

Virgin was forced to scramble a "rescue locomotive" to tow the train to the next station, but other services faced knock-on delays or cancellations.

In a video message recorded from a vestibule on the scuppered service, Mr McDonald said: "My day of campaigning for a publicly-owned railway has been interrupted today because of the breakdown of this Virgin train as I head to Leeds.

"Grocery stores, workshops and farmhouses were destroyed, never to be rebuilt.

"A middle class white man — whom EVERYONE underestimates — travels through a magical kingdom to the tribal world of the primitive people. Sure, he underestimates them, and sure, they are formidable, but he’s an innovator, learns their magic, DOES IT BETTER than them, SAVES THE WORLD FOR THEM, wins the THRONE, and then GIVES THE THRONE to a brown woman who expresses GRATITUDE for his MORAL EXCELLENCE. He retires to a simple life of universal acclaim and perennial luxury, but still nonetheless modest."

White males like me have a similar problem to the ghosts in “The Sixth Sense,” only instead of “they don’t know they’re dead,” the problem is “they don’t know they’re white males.”

The privilege of privilege is not knowing itself. I’m being serious. If you have some kind of privilege, then one of the main ways it will manifest is literally in the luxury of not having to think about it. White people aren’t self-conscious about their race. Males aren’t self-conscious about their sex. Straight people aren’t self-conscious about their sexuality. Able-bodied people aren’t self-conscious about being able-bodied. And the more privileged you are, the less likely you are to think about these categories because you will tell yourself that these categories belong to the Others, and that these categories are all a distraction from the true issue, which is class mobility, to be specific, yours."

"In the 21st century, the search for national security has become a source of urban insecurity.

The traditional security paradigm in our western-style democracies fails to accommodate a key feature of today’s wars: when our major powers go to war, the enemies they now encounter are irregular combatants. Not troops, organised into armies; but “freedom” fighters, guerrillas, terrorists. Some are as easily grouped by common purpose as they are disbanded. Others engage in wars with no end in sight.

What such irregular combatants tend to share is that they urbanise war. Cities are the space where they have a fighting chance, and where they can leave a mark likely to be picked up by the global media...."

"In the old wars, there was the option of calling for an armistice. In today’s wars, there are no dominant powers who can decide to end it. Today’s urban wars, above all, are wars with no end in sight."

"“Scarborough is a harbour town,” said Coun Mark Vesey, member of Scarborough Council’s harbour task group. “All the history is there, locked in those walls. We once had one of the largest ship-building yards in the country. We built ships that went all over the world, taking convicts to Australia. That all went in the age of steam. This is about a long-term vision about development for the future.”

The taskforce was set up by Scarborough Council in September, to draw up a plan around projects, investment and direction. Public meetings are to be held in coming days, with fishermen, professors, specialists in fisheries, conservation, and maritime industries.

The harbour currently houses around 35 fishing vessels, and is visited by 300 more, a report to be considered on Wednesday reveals. It provides 150 jobs in the town. And while it’s difficult to quantify the benefits it brings to the area’s wider economy, the report recognises that a visible fishing industry adds to the town’s appeal as a major tourist destination.

The group, drawing up an action plan, is looking at ideas around investments which could secure its future as a working harbour – relatively rare in a modern tourist town – and to improve its surroundings for future income generation.

As well as potential investment in facilities, the task force is looking at ways funding can be generated from the harbour. There’s a waiting list for berths going into years, Coun Vesey said, and there are considerations as to whether this could be expanded. The West Pier, parking in summer, is “empty space” is winter, he said, and there were options around making more of this space. There could be crab stalls, or cafes, he adds.

“There’s a lot to look at, to try and balance it all,” he said. “Scarborough harbour is quite unique in the world of fishermen, as a working harbour with tourists visiting as well. We want to keep that heritage, to keep the tourism, and to make money so that it can pay its way in the future. It’s a big challenge.”

Scarborough harbour is a working harbour and must remain as such, fishermen have urged, despite its appeal as a tourism destination.

Fred Normandale, a vessel owner and now retired fisherman, whose father and both grandfathers fished here before him, has commented on the reports as to how it could be developed.

“The harbour is a Scarborough centre for vessels - it’s for fishermen,” the 69-year-old said. “The harbour is the focal point. The harbour was built for a reason, and that was for a maritime purpose.”

The first records of a fishing fleet were are in 1225, when Henry lll gifted 40 oaks from his woods to use in the harbour.

In 1914, the lighthouse was seriously damaged during the bombardment of Scarborough by German cruisers and the tower had to be dismantled. It was rebuilt in 1931.

“It’s been there a long time,” said Mr Normandale.

“The old boys always say, we owe it to the next generation to leave this harbour, if not in as good a condition, then a better one than that which we inherited it.

“We like that line - that’s gone down through the generations. Fishing is not a job, it’s a way of life.”

Scarborough Harbour’s fishing task group is to meet on Wednesday to update on its latest progress.

A range of experts are to join the discussion panel, and among the topics to be discussed are the projections for the UK fishing industry, emerging sectors, and potential changes to the UK’s policy and funding following Brexit and the impact on industry."

"...The need for action to boost the Dales economy is ever more pressing, and has been underlined by a series of reports over the past couple of years. While none was specific to the area, the findings of each have had particular resonance there.

Public Health England and the Local Government Association warned of increasing rural deprivation in apparently idyllic towns and villages. Low-paid work, unemployment, high housing costs, fuel poverty, poor transport links and social isolation amongst the elderly were all growing problems.

Then the Centre for Towns pointed out that small towns and villages lost more than a million young people over the past three decades as they moved to the cities in search of work.

Over the same period, there was an influx of more than two million people aged 65 and over into the smaller places. The trend was particularly pronounced in the North.

Government stinginess towards national parks is only aggravating matters, with overall funding levels potentially a fifth lower by 2020 than they were in 2010, added to which is the uncertainty of what happens post-Brexit when EU money is no longer available..."
